Syngenta Crop Protection Canada’s representative on the Canadian 4-H Council has been named the organization’s new president.
Judy Shaw was elected by council board members to the post for a two-year term at the council’s recent annual meeting on Prince Edward Island.
Shaw replaces Bob McAuley, who remains on the board as past president. She has been involved in 4-H since 1996 when she became Syngenta’s member representative for the 4-H Council, and has served as a member of the public relations committee and as a council director.
